Utira-C (Oral)
Generic name: hyoscyamine, methenamine, methylene blue, phenyl salicylate, and sodium phosphate
Brand names: Phosphasal, Urelle, Uretron D/S, Uribel, Urimar-T, UR N-C, Ustell, Uticap, Utira-C, Utrona-C
Uses for Utira-C
Urelle® is a combination of five medicines: hyoscyamine, methenamine, methylene blue, phenyl salicylate, and sodium phosphate. It is used to relieve discomfort, swelling, pain, frequent urge to urinate, and cramps or spasms of the urinary tract caused by an infection or a diagnostic procedure.
Hyoscyamine is an antispasmodic drug that relieves muscle cramps or spasms. Methenamine and methylene blue are antiseptic drugs that help clear a urinary tract infection. Phenyl salicylate is a pain reliever. Sodium phosphate makes the urine more acidic, which helps methenamine work better.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.

Precautions while using Utira-C
It is very important for your doctor to check how you or your child are doing at regular visits. This will help your doctor see if the medicine is working correctly and decide if you should keep taking it.
If your or your child's symptoms do not get better or if they worsen, call your doctor.
Stop using this medicine and contact your doctor immediately if you or your child experience blurred vision, dizziness, or a rapid pulse.
This medicine will cause your urine to be colored blue. This is normal and is not a cause for concern.
This medicine will not cure a serious urinary tract infection and will only help relieve symptoms as long as you continue to take it.
Do not take any other medicines unless your doctor has discussed them with you. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines and herbal or vitamin supplements.
